I pieced one together before from the box of spare parts.

BOB's CB puts together a stainless steel mount Bob calls a RV Mount that is used to mount on the top of a RV rear ladder. It has the studs for the vertical and ground leg. I upgraded the studs to a heavier ones for use as a base station antenna. Nothing fancy.

I hope you and your family were all safe. My apologies for any offense. I did not realize that he was talking on the main aircraft operations frequency. I just assumed that he speaking on a dispatch channel. We had this happen one time locally where a gentleman was giving directions from an...

One constant in the universe is the big fish in small pond theory in the person it takes to take the time even to file the complaint to start. Mr. Frawley stepped on someone's ego. Most likely to only communication he interrupted was, "Does anyone got donuts and coffee in his truck?"

First, disclaimer. I am not attempting to make a political post. The gentleman in question just happens to be a popular politician. That being said please no extreme tastelessness. I the admins need to remove this post I understand fully. Mainly I am curious about the creative replays to the...

I am sure I am not the odd guy out when I say I have enjoyed this forum for years and years without being a paying member. I disappeared for a few years and then came back. Marriage issues. In plain explanation, I kept the Royce base station, there is no Mrs. no more... These past holidays I...

Maybe President Biden will pardon all offenders with CB radio violations in 2024 for operating illegal linear amplifiers and selling unlicensed equipment- if they are not included in the Patriot Act as domestic terrorists for attempting to interfere with the country's communication...

I actually prefer Evan Williams and Coca Cola, rather than Jack Daniels and Coke. Jack and Coke is the standard to noise blanker for then day. Evan William seems to taste good mixed and the price is a little better. I am an Old Crow fan too. Old Crow blanks the noise.

Buy an used Chevy Trailblazer, etc. Park in the driveway, Drill the ball mount center roof, put the old school big whip on it. run the coax out the tailgate and your all set to hookup to the house. I am pretty sure the HOA will not let you put a 1978 Chevy Impala up on cider blocks in the...

This discussion may require a BBQ grill, rather large cooler, ice, lots of beer. So let's open up a bottle, start telling lies, calling up women.... Hope everyone got to see family and had a Merry Merry Christmas.

I can not resist sharing the link. Merry Christmas to All....

Everyone goes through adjusting tune. Play with the settings on the meter. Then set the radio to 3-4 watts dead key to whatever it will swing. The Cybernet boards will sound nice and clear, but are not a powerhouse. I have an old Pearce Simpson Pussycat 23 base. The old box will sound nice and...

This is from CB Tricks for the Lafayette HB 640. I used to have one. I donated it to a local police department for their mobile scales van.

Most likely its a Cybernet board and has a ton of cross references to other radios. Look up the Lafayette CB radios that look like they have the same features and chassis layout. The schematic may be easier to find. Best of luck.

Many thanks. I have no problem doing any type of PC, Mac repair, but the soldering iron is my nemesis. I have to build two PCs for my boys for Christmas. Both will be Dell chassis with all recycled parts. Seems silly, I always end up with a mess if I touch a soldering iron. I should really...

I've been having a lot of success with the longevity of Blackview branded Android tablets for my kids. They are Chineseum of course. Looks like a Lenovo tablets with the generic name. Anyway, my older son managed to break of the inner piece of the USB-C recharging jack. My soldiering skills...

Happy Tryptophan Awareness Day my friends. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

Don't forget the Tennis Ball, from Petsmart. I move mine up and down to tune for best SWR readings- LOL.

My 15y/o son has come to live with me full time 5 weeks ago today. His mother had some emotional issues and it was not in his best interest to remain with her and boyfriend. Coming home from school the past week he keeps asking me is WW III is going to start if President Trump is not...

I will comment that for the longest time I had a constant buzzing interference, made no sense, but all channels, worse on lower to mid band. I was outside looking at lights. Thinking about near by construction. Turns out it was a cheap 7.99 power strip with three USB ports to charge phone...
